Faculty ResearchOur faculty have been hard at work publishing research in academic journals as well as presenting their research at various conferences around the country and the world.

SpeakersOver the past academic year, our cadets were fortunate enough to hear from several speakers both from academia and business.

Cadet ResearchThe VMI Undergraduate Research Initiative (URI) was established by directive of the Dean of Faculty to more fully integrate student scholarly inquiry into the VMI experience.

The Cadet Investment GroupThe Cadet Investment Group (CIG) was founded in 1986 by the VMI Foundation. The group’s mission is to learn about investing. To do this, members serve as investment analysts and portfolio managers.

Cadet InternshipsIn the summer of 2009, five cadets participated in the inaugural summer of the department’s “internship for credit” program.

SBD and ODE ActivityThe Sigma Beta Delta, the Honor Society for Business and Omicron Delta Economics Honor Society were quite active this past year thanks to the leadership provided by Cadets Thompson and Johnston.
